A detailed report of Math marks to date was sent home with my students today. Parents please sign and return.
Three more weeks before the "report card" mark is entered for first term. Lots of time to improve marks before then!

Students will have a short mixed quiz involving addition, subtraction and multiplication of integers. Go over the attached sheet with the answers to make sure you can do them! Make sure that you check your answers as you go so that you don't reinforce incorrect thinking. Just leave out the division questions for now.
November 18 There will be a quiz tomorrow on mixed integers. Check out the following worksheets to make sure that you can easily switch from one kind to another. The answers are included in each file. I gave a pretest today and any student who scored less than 85% was given another sheet to do for homework. Students can open some of the previous days if they need more instruction. Students were also given the opportunity to come in for extra help today at lunch if they wanted.

Homework November 25
Questions 7, 8 and 11. Many students finished questions 7 and 8 in class. If not, finish up for homework. SHOW your work!! All students are to complete question 11 on the separate sheet provided.
The following file is to be used to complete Question 11. This will be collected and graded tomorrow. Students are to look at the question, and the three sample answers, decide who is right and for the two who are wrong, identify what it was that they did wrong. We did a sample of this in class today and can be found in the preceeding file under Help for Assessment Questions.
Today I worked with students on how to "ignore" parts of longer questions so that they would not feel so overwhelmed. I have attached the lesson we did with an example of how we used the "see no evil" monkey.
